In a process of transfer of production control in proximity to production site for enabling decentralized manufacturing, production control data and routing data are retrieved from a centralized system. The retrieved production control data and the routing data are stored within a connector installed at a proximity to a plant floor. An operation associated with the production control data of a purchase order is matched with the resource published in the connector. Upon determining the match between the operation and the resource, the resource is dynamically allocated to perform the operation. The control of manufacturing process of the plant floor is provided to the connector to realize de-centralized manufacturing.

A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a supply network plan, a supply network plan configuration and/or a supply network planning aggregate hierarchy business object.

Managing consistent interfaces for supply network business objects across heterogeneous systems

Systems and methods are disclosed for distributing stock in a distribution network. The distribution network may include a source location and a plurality of target locations. In the disclosed systems and methods, the stock requirements of the target locations may be categorized into a plurality of requirement types, wherein each requirement type reflects a category of stock requirements for one of the target locations. In addition, the plurality of requirement types may be prioritized by order of importance and/or the plurality of target locations may be prioritized for each requirement type based on at least one sequence rule. Based on the prioritized requirement types and/or prioritized sequence of the target locations, the stock may be distributed to the plurality of target locations.

A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a freight order, a maintenance plan, a maintenance task list, a request for supplier freight quote, and/or a supplier freight quote business object.

A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a service part demand forecast, a service part demand history, a service part inventory replenishment rule, a service part order history, and/or a service part supply plan business object.

A method and apparatus to efficiently round requested quantities to efficient transportation quantities in the supply chain. Target locations are organized in a sequence. A tolerance interval around the requested quantity is calculated for each target location. The requested value is then rounded to an efficient transportation quantity for each target location in its sequential order.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for packing products according to a packaging specification, whereby a packaging specification is defined by a plurality of packaging parameters. In one implementation, a method is provided that includes a first step of selecting, based on a plurality of access sequences, at least one packaging specification out of a plurality of packaging specifications, and a second step of determining a resulting packaging specification out of the selected packaging specifications.
